Abstract
A tubular system includes a side pocket mandrel having at least one side pocket defining a device storage zone. A conductor extends along the tubular system to the side pocket. A stored device is arranged in the device storage zone.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A tubular system comprising:
a side pocket mandrel including at least one side pocket defining a device storage zone;
a conductor extending along the tubular system to the side pocket;
an address member including an electronic identification device arranged at the side pocket in the side pocket mandrel, the address member configured to provide remote identification of the device storage zone; and
a stored device arranged in the device storage zone.
2. The tubular system according to claim 1 , wherein the stored device is electrically connected to the conductor.
3. The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the conductor provides communication and power to the device storage zone.
4. The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises an electrical storage device.
5. The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises a sensor.
6. The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises a tool.
7. The tubular system according to claim 6 , wherein the tool includes a manipulator.
8. The tubular system according to claim 2 , wherein the stored device comprises one of an energy harvesting and an energy generating device.
9. The tubular system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one pocket includes a first pocket and a second pocket, the first pocket including a first device storage zone and the second pocket including a second device storage zone.
10. The tubular system according to claim 9 , wherein the stored device is arranged in the first storage zone and another stored device is arranged in the second device storage zone.
11. The tubular system according to claim 10 , wherein the first stored device forms a first part of a system and the another stored device forms another part of the system.
12. The tubular system according to claim 11 , wherein the stored device comprises one of a valve motor and a valve choke and the another stored device comprises one of a valve communication device and a sensor associated with a valve connected to the tubular system.Cited by (0)
